Marine surveys techniques for geo-archaeological research: the case of Naples harbour
Abstract
The Naples bay and, in particular, its harbor, can be rightly considered as precious geoarchaeological repositories. We have investigated the Naples harbor in 2016 with different geophysical survey techniques followed by divers visual inspections. The site location and its high anthropogenic noise have allowed to test the potential and the limits of such methods and the need of design site-specific techniques for both acoustic and magnetic methods. Some geological insights regarding the pre-historic/historic paleo landscape and the relative sea level oscillations, as well as some archaeological results are also briefly presented.
